READING-GRAMMAR CONNECTION
Write these sentences from
Because of Winn-Dixie on the board:
"Are you all right?"
"That's my dog."
Explain that the first sentence is
an interrogative sentence. It
asks a question and ends with
a question mark. The second
sentence is a declarative
sentence. It tells something
and ends with a period. Both
sentences are simple
sentences.

GUIDED PRACTICE
Review the concept of declarative
and interrogative sentences.

    statement that tells about
    something. It ends with a
    period.
  • An interrogative sentence
     asks a question. It ends with
    a question mark.
  • Declarative and interrogative sentences begin with capital
    letters and can be simple,
    compound, or complex.
